I have a couple of users that use iphone devices (I just wish they'd use a respectable manufacturer) and on them any reports generated from the system and saved as pdf have their text missing. All other formatting such as header backgrounds etc is present. If I include graphics in them it's all present.
To debug I generated a report from VS designer and saved as PDF, that one works on their phones. So if a report is generated via a reportbook on the website, it fails, from VS all OK.
Looking at the file I can see that in the VS one I have the font embedded as Tahoma, in the file generated via a reportbook there is no embedded font.
I'm guessing that in their usual arrogance apple left off the tahoma font (sorry can't help bashing apple!).
So to fix, is there something that I need to do in the reportbook to force the font embedding?
Regards,
Jon

duh, hadn't used the correct search terminology.
Created hashtable, used FontEmbedding and set to Subset.
Hopefully it will work now, the major downside seems to be longer processing time and also larger filesize.
